# LinkedIn vs Job Studio

The clearest difference is rating: LinkedIn at 4.8 against Job Studio's 4.1. LinkedIn also leads on ratings volume (646K vs 32) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Job Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 37%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LinkedIn sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Job Studio sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LinkedIn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LinkedIn has 646K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of LinkedIn's written reviews are positive against 67% of Job Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LinkedIn ships an update every 3 days, Job Studio every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
